Day 21, and we’re back at 3 (2+1=3) The Trinity

wpid-1361247638079.jpg

I love numbers, though, I’m not the best mathematician, I do know God’s foundations (or the roots of his magnificent personality and ingenuity) are in the numbers.

God’s beauties are witnessed many places. They are seen in the leaves of his trees and in his sky and everywhere if we simply look.. These wonders are his artworks.

The Grand Canyon, only to name one, is an example. And, think about this. There would be no Grand Canyon without numbers and pressures and physics, and calculous, and algebra and all the other mathematical hocus-pocus, as it seems to me, involved. Numbers of the metals, minerals, force or pressure of water and atmosphere, the height and the depths of matter were the ingredients needed. The surrounding numerical values of other rock formations and consistencies in surrounding areas, all came together and allowed the genesis of the canyon to occur.  Then, the water and winds joined in  increased the Colorado River bed. And all of that force, and all the energy and the matter and the pressure worked simultaneously and carved the stones into the glorious natural monument that is present today. The boulders, and the added colors or clay, iron ores form the brilliance of assorted lights and reflections within the suns path astonish the tourists during the day, but especially at dawn and dusk …  Oh, I can hear a symphony playing. Perhaps it sounds similar to The 1812 Overture… This is the cereal that’s shot from guns. That is from an American childhood cereal advertisement, which they borrowed from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and I chuckle thinking about it playing in the background…

And, numbers created God’s art which he has made for us…

We are his creation in the making, too.

So ~ When the storms, the pressures, the wind and the rain of our tears pour out from traumas and turmoil around us, then we too, become a work of his art. We are made similarly to The Grand Canyon…

We are grand, indeed….

 

Psalm 8:3-6 NIV

 When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    Human beings that you care for them?

You have made them a little lower than the angels

    And crowned them with glory and honor.
 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    You put everything under their feet:

Day 18… Death and Rebirth = 9

Day 18… One of the numbers I understand 

1 + 8 = 9

👿 Number 9; number 9; number 9
👿
Number 9; number 9; number 9

Keep in mind the only numbers that are evil, satanic, feared are the ones you’ve chosen in your mind or have been told and you believed, like the number 13. There are no evil numbers. Saying this, know that, the number 9 is associated with regeneration, death (first) then rebirth. Why death first? I’m not certain, but the 9 number represents death of a particular path, death of a plan, death of away of thinking, or even physical death or divorce of something or someone… The 9 is feared because with it comes change and the older we become the harder change truly is for the aging. The nine is a definite movement and it is often perceived as a negative when in fact it is a positive (that hurts because of the drastic change that WILL happen).

What does the number 9 have to do with The Bible?

Number nine represents The Spirit.

All numbers added or multiplied with 9 will come back to 9. Strange huh?

Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version 

 But the fruit of the Spirit is 1) love, 2) joy, 3) peace, 4) long-suffering, 5) gentleness, 6) goodness, 7) faith,

8) Meekness, 9) temperance:   

*****Notice the consequence that follows*****                                                                                              “against such there is no law.”

Galatians 5:22  “The fruit of the spirit is ~” 9 characters of The Spirit = 9

There are  people who’s life path equal 9 … Their lives seem harder than others when compared, but at the same time, God trusted them with the harder path, so then, they are more blessed…

Today I don’t want to overwhelm readers all the characters and possibilities that come follow or present with 9 pathways.If you want to know if you are a nine or another number then google the topic. You might read Robert Camps material on numbers and the paths that people are on…

However, although their lives seem hard, they are the most benevolent souls on Earth. Nine’s will die for another being whether human or animal. They are martyrs, who do death, over and over, not for egocentrically purposes, but only for the reasons of: this is who they are and by natural influence they die over and over gain for the living. They are true humanitarians …

At some point I want to write more about 9 people or animals, and I’ve read that Jesus was on a 9 pathway. I don’t have the information in front of me, but I will be searching for the material on that to share with others.

My daughter is on a 9 path and many of you will remember she is the one who survived a horrible car accident in 2002 and was on life support for almost 2 months. She came back better and better and even better, but is changed (drastically) from her birth… Events like this have effected my daughter many times over and she will continue on her 9 pathway which is very difficult for people who live around or near a 9 person…

Day 14 Which Equals 5… For Someone Special

BojennLeave a comment
Take the mask off please and listen
Take the mask off please and listen

Day 14 which equals 5 because 1 +4 = 5 and 5 means traveling, “on the go,” death and rebirth, and lacking emotions, travels through life by their own rhythm and beat  … Transit people are 5’s.

The story below was about a man with a dreaded disease. And, this disease could be any kind of problem, addictions, angers, or flaws of character, etc… The man’s name was Naaman. And he went and sought, and travelled again and again seeking a cure; however, when he was told what to do (by another unexpected source, not his plans, as he thought it should be the king instead of the disrespected prophet) he went and did what he wanted and was angry. We have our plans, our agendas and we are sometimes rigid with these agendas. “If it’s not our way then take the highway.” The king didn’t tell him as he wanted, but it was another less respectable person, so, Naaman ~ 

 But Naaman went away angry (Naaman is a 5 person)

So he turned and went off in a rage.

Then, someone gets through to Naaman while he was in his fit of rage and anger and he listens. Because he finally listens after being afflicted, after being ill, after being angry with rage, after all the negatives ~ Someone is able to get through to his psyche and Naaman does exactly what he was told to do and he was healed...

And, Gehazi is another story…. and another number example for later…  🙂

The Story:

Naaman Healed of Leprosy: 2 Kings 5

5 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a]

2 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”

4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”

7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!”

8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”

11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.

13 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”

16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.

17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”

19 “Go in peace,” Elisha said.

After Naaman had traveled some distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”

21 So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. “Is everything all right?” he asked.

22 “Everything is all right,” Gehazi answered. “My master sent me to say, ‘Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent[d] of silver and two sets of clothing.’”

23 “By all means, take two talents,” said Naaman. He urged Gehazi to accept them, and then tied up the two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, and they carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put them away in the house. He sent the men away and they left.

25 When he went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?”

“Your servant didn’t go anywhere,” Gehazi answered.

26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves?27 Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.

Day 12 (1 +2 = 3 and that = The Trinity) 12

Day 12 (1 +2 = 3 and that = The Trinity) 12

I am using an older post that I put together years ago on the number 12 and the importance of the number. Not many people have visited that post and I think it will be appropriate for this day… So here goes.

12

Defining the number Twelve would probably be like this:

12 is the largest even number that can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. Being a summation of two prime numbers, number 12 is believed to be the number of strength, conviction, absoluteness and finality. This gives importance to the meaning of number 12. ” Quote from Home of Beliefs.

It further makes a suggestion that the number 12 represents a place of authority as we see examples from the legal system as there are 12 jurors, The Biblical system and the systems further discussed later on the page, and the body’s own 12 Chakras,’ and other places of interest.

There is also a “blessing” or something special about the birthday of those born on the twelfth.
Some whose birthday are on the 12th are:
All these names references from Quote from Home of Beliefs

Julius Caesar
Abraham Lincoln
Edmund Burke
Charles Darwin
George Bush
Pete Sampras
Hugh Jackman
*Plus my son, Joel, whose birthday is 12/12/83.

People born on the 12th of any month possess an artistic bent, which manifests in everything they do – be it cooking, communication or any other endeavor. Their quick-witted personality makes them mass entertainers who radiate vitality. Also, they are friendly and very emotional. People born under the influence of number 12 can be excellent salesperson, or people of authority. Some famous people born on the 12th are: (from Home of Beliefs.)

The Bible says:
The 12 Patriarchs
There were twelve• patriarchs• from (and including)• Shem• (the son of Noah) to Jacob:
1. Shem
2. Arphaxad
3. Salah
4. Heber
5. Peleg
6. Reu
7. Serug
8. Nahor
9. Terah
10. Abraham
11. Isaac
12. Jacob

In The New Testament:
The twelve Apostles.
The twelve foundations in the heavenly Jerusalem.
The twelve gates.
The twelve pearls.
The twelve angels.

Who were the 12 people specially ANOINTED to serve in government?
1. Nadab, Exodus 29:7,9, etc.
2. Abihu, Exodus 29:7,9, etc.
3. Eleazar, Exodus 29:7,9, etc.
4. Ithamar, Exodus 29:7,9, etc.
5. Saul, 1Samuel 10:1.
6. David, * 1Samuel 16:13.
7. Absalom, 2Samuel 19:10.
8. Solomon, 1Kings 1:39.
9. Jehu, 2 Kings 9:6.
10. Joash, 2Kings 11:12.
11. Jehoahaz, 2Kings 23:30

At what age did Jesus first appear in public? 12.

*Twelve legions of  angels  mark the perfection of angelic powers (Matthew 26:53).

*The number 12 is found 187 times total in the Bible, 22 of which are in the book of Revelation.

*12 is also used as a signature of Israel.

*Truth is symbolized by 144, or 12 x 12.

*There are 12 divisions of heaven called the Mazzaroth

*The New Jerusalem has 12 gates of pearls, 12 angels at the gates and the names of the 12 tribes of Israel over the gates. The wall of the city has 12 foundations of precious stones; in them are the names of the 12 apostles. The wall is 144 cubits high (12 x 12). The city is 12,000 furlongs (1,500 miles) square.

And the women with the issue of blood, how many years did she bleed? 12. Mark 5:25

The little girl raised from the dead was how old? 12
Jesus said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”..

Twelve is the product of 3 (the perfectly Divine and heavenly number) and 4 (the earthly, the number of what is material and organic).

Added: While seven is composed of 3 added to 4, twelve is 3 multiplied by 4, and hence denotes that which can scarcely be explained in words, but which the spiritual perception can at once appreciate, viz., organization, the products denoting production and multiplication and increase of all that is contained in the two numbers separately. The 4 is generally prominently seen in the twelve.

There is a curious relationship between harmonic and disharmonious content of music and numbers. This same relationship occurs in music, colors, and other physical concepts. It seems as if the Creator creates patterns within patterns and illustrates concepts through numbers. Many patterns that appear in one place are repeated in another. We see this fact throughout life. Time and music both have lower and higher octaves. The octaves of time span a day, a year, and a lifetime. For example the times of the day and the seasons of the year can be compared to the stages of a living entity.

From C to C = 12…. From D to D = 12… etc…

Prominence of the Numbers 7 & 12 in Music and Time
An interesting aside is the prominence of the numbers 7 and 12 in music and time. There are seven whole notes in the octave and 12 half steps in the octave. We also see the prominence of these same numbers in our time divisions – 12 hours each of day and night, 7 days in a week, 12 months in the year.

* FYI for interest: Division of the Octave by Two = Disharmonious, as 2 colors opposite the color chart will clash, same with musical numbers. Isn’t this interesting? If you didn’t catch it read it again. The same is true for the Zodiac as 2 opposites don’t attract (for long).

Magnesium• has the Atomic•  number 12. .

•There are 12 pairs of ribs in the human body – normally.

Twelve men have walked on the Earth’s• moon.

There are 12 stars on the Flag of Europe.

A group of twelve things is called a Duodecad.

The body has 12 cranial nerves

In The Zodiac:
Twelve is a perfect number, signifying perfection of government, or of governmental perfection. It is found as a multiple in all that has to do with rule. The sun which “rules” the day, and the moon and stars which “govern” the night, do so by their passage through the twelve signs of the Zodiac which completes the great circle of the heavens of 360 (12 x 30) degrees or divisions, and thus govern the year.

On 12/12/2012 some declare the end of the world, some say the beginning of world peace, I say it will be my sons 29th birthday.

Oh, and 1 last phenominah about twelve, 12,   1+2= 3 The Trinity

Author Notes
12 is VERY interesting though many would say it is part of numerology. But, The Bible contains numerical absolutes and 12 is just one….

Day 11 Taken from Ezekiel 47 Talking Symbolism

BojennLeave a comment

Ezekiel 47; 1-12 ….

47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.

3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”

Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[b] where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

wpid-20130711_184411.jpg

The entire section is delightfully filled with symbolism. Some of the words that I see which have more than one possible meaning, they are:

man

temple

entrance

water (emotions)

coming from under (why under?)

to the East, from the South of the alter, North gate (directions, why?)

outside facing East

Water was trickling from the South (trickling? Barely coming through)

measuring line in hand (The hand is important)

water ankle deep, knee deep, waste deep, now too deep to cross (no one could cross) (from mild to deep emotions)

led, river (why did God lead him to a river (emotions)? What kind of emotions are rivers?

great number of trees (forest) (Being lost?)

goes down Arabah

Dead Sea (death)

empties to sea (emotions empty)

salty water becomes fresh (tears)

flowing water versus brackish water (living again)

swarms of living at flowing river (Life)

fishermen stand at shore spreading nets (god watches or angels)

swamps and marshes not fresh, but have a population of a kind of living (salty) fruit trees grow here (notice this) BECAUSE WATER FROM THE SANCTUARY FLOWS TO THEM and watch what is produces ~ Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing. (Direction from God)

47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.

3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”

Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[b] where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

Do you see that God is in all the water? ankle deep, knee deep, where one can’t pass deep, in salt water, fresh water and notice what he puts on the banks of the water which is marsh and swamps…? Most important…

Day 10: Authenticity

BojennLeave a comment

IMG_0472

“When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7

Authenticity ~ Are we? Are we our real selves or do we hide behind labels, titles, beliefs or gods? Real; Am I, or are you? Do you believe that God wants us to be real (our true selves) or something that is described in a book or at church? Belief systems often tell us how we should be or look. Maybe TV, or a televangelist, or an ancient religious texts or thoughts from our grandparents, or something that we have studied and sought to achieve, may have influenced our choices. These avenues of influence that we adapt, but we aren’t necessarily supposed to become, overcome and mask the real you and I. So, the question is: Are we wearing a mask or have we adapted to a mold that is not intended for self?

The reason this scripture was chosen is for the reason of sometimes authenticity costs us discomforts and safety. We risk a secure part of nature that we’ve hidden from our true self behind a mask. It is cozy there and no one will judge us if we look and talk like the pack. We won’t be rejected, or disliked by fellow humans. It costs us something because we loose our authentic self and God sees us lost in another mans designs. Someone may throw a stone at us. This is not comfortable. So, as we work jobs we were not created for, or participate in activities that aren’t like our spirits we loose our authenticity…

Finding our authentic self takes years, but it is possible. It’s who you were made to be… You are unique and created for something greater than expected…. You already know this.

Day 9. Deducing Assumptions

Examine and deduce like a scientist who allows for grace and mercy
Examine and deduce like a scientist who allows for grace and mercy

“You who have tried to be justified by the law are alienated by Christ.”

Galatians 5:4

I don’t have to talk the same as you, nor do you have to think like me either. I don’t have to dress like you either, nor do you have to look like me. As a matter of fact, we can resemble Renoir or the opposite, Picasso.

You are free to be yourself. Please, don’t look like the guy on tv, and please, don’t talk like her either. I might judge you wrongly.

We all judge. It is innate, intuitive, god given and it is protective. However, while deducing a circumstance or person subtract your personal possibilities of error from the equation. Figure out the percentage of miscalculations or delusions that are made within your assumptions and subtract them from your/my judgements.

Deducing renders grace and mercy. The two are not in the absolutes of black or white judgements. Grace and Mercy are found in grey ares.

Then, I consider killers and murderers. I think they are subject to God’s hands; I’m not equipped to see the whole picture, lucky for them.

Day 8 … Infinity

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

Hebrews 9:27

Forty-five tears ago after reading this text and while involved in my prayer, I asked God (then), OK, if we are appointed to die once (The final judgement) how many times are we appointed to live, before that final judgement? 

His response was felt in my heart as it seemed to vibrate with heavenly quivering and I knew that I was on to something and He was applauding my reasoning and deductions. Keep asking questions, don’t assume anything. Not all, is in black or white. I created the black matter, as well as, the grey. 

Day 3, They Labelled Me a witch…. :-( and I cried that day

BojennLeave a comment

Day 3

“When the  Lord brought back  the captives of Zion, we were like men who dreamed.”

Psalm 126:1

My lessons  in learning. “They labelled me a witch that day and I cried. Sadly, had it of been in the 1600’s or there about, they would have burned me at the stake.” 

Dreaming and being apart by choice from the one who loves unconditionally in the rotten state of purification, he restores to His vine a fruit with fragrant  blossoms.

What have I learned while sojourning the dead?

Most men are dead though they believe they live and life is found in belief and relationship to the creator. There is no life separate from him and he does not condemn. The serving of “other gods” are my wondering thoughts that do not allow His enlightenment. For in every topic on earth, God is. And, He is knowledgeable about everything including the forbidden subjects. He still  teaches me and I am grateful.

The only judgement is that of ourselves and non other, unless of course, I’ve worn their shoes for a lifetime. Judgement arises from fear of that which is not understood.
